configuring exim
hello all!
aim: set up a mail system that will deliver mail from my linux box
irrespctive of any other computer and will fetch mail from a few pop
addresses i have
setup: i run debian 3.0. it has a static ip address. it is connected to
a lan. lan is run by nt server. there is a gateway that we use to
connect to the internet. all the three machines mentioned here have
static ip addresses 192.168.100.xx. there are two dns servers with their
own ip addresses.
where am i stuck: i think if i know correct answers for following
sections on exim.conf, i am home!
######################################################################
# TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES NOT MATTER #
# Only one appropriate transport is called for each delivery. #
######################################################################
# This transport is used for delivering messages over SMTP connections.
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
authenticate_hosts = what.do.i.write.here
# To use SMTP AUTH when sending to a particular host, such as your ISP's
# smarthost, uncomment and edit the above line, and also the example
# client-side authenticators at the bottom of the file
end
######################################################################
# ROUTERS CONFIGURATION #
# Specifies how remote addresses are handled #
######################################################################
# ORDER DOES MATTER #
# A remote address is passed to each in turn until it is accepted. #
######################################################################
# Remote addresses are those with a domain that does not match any item
# in the "local_domains" setting above.
# Send all mail to a smarthost
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = "* what.do.i.write.here byname(or something else?)"
end
for more information, my gateway is 192.168.100.22, nt server (lan
server) is 192.168.100.1 and my machine is 192.168.100.21
in windows, 192.168.100.1 worked perfectly as smtp server! apparently,
they run some merakmail software on that machine. but i do not want to
use it!
i tried toying with the what.do.i.write.here part, but was not able to
deliver mail to remote servers. i could deliver mail to
sandip@deshmukh.work address
thanx in advance
